Description
Description
Named for its effortless elegance and playful spirit, the Gilda Dress is designed to be one of the most versatile pieces in your handmade wardrobe. Created with a beautifully relaxed silhouette and plenty of flowing movement, Gilda combines comfort and style in equal measure. Whether sewn in a floaty viscose for special occasions or a soft cotton voile for everyday wear, it is a dress you'll find yourself reaching for again and again.
Gilda embraces the idea of fit without frustration. Rather than a large number of individual sizes, the pattern is thoughtfully grouped into four size ranges, each designed to comfortably accommodate a range of body shapes while maintaining the garment's relaxed, elegant silhouette. With options for short, three-quarter or long sleeves, Gilda can be adapted to suit every season and occasion.
Ciao Patterns are designed with clarity in mind. Each size is colour coded for easy tracing, while unique line styles ensure sizes remain easy to distinguish when printed in black and white.
Recommended Fabrics: Lightweight gauzy linens, viscose, silk, cotton voile or other soft, drapey shirting fabrics.
